My ghetto *** water injection!
I have taken a 'cool blast' water mister thingy and retro fitted it into my injection before the throttlebody. It works excellently, Another 5 horse or so. Only thing I am worried about is water puddling, what danger to my engine is that?

Specific heat of water is 4.184, you can calculate temp drop inside injection with that number and some idea of how much air is flowing per unit of time, and according to calculations it was a 40-50 degree drop, and they say 1 horse for every 10 degrees, right?

Thanks dale, you da man!
Kiyo, will try to get digi cam to work, right now it is a single nozzle jb welded into the top of the tb and fed from a hose to a pressurized container in the cabin.
Eventually I will rig up a rail to mount 2 nozzles from, I want to decrease pressure to reduce puddling and increase the amount of water injected.

For some reason, I doubt an intake, home made ram air, plugs and wires, and water injection will make a 2.2L go from 93 hp to 233 hp.
Good equations though, just a little hopeful. He's maybe got 105 hp.

Sure they can. If you put an uncompressible substance(fluid) in a shrinking area (combustion chamber) eventually it will reach a point where it will not be able to compress anymore.

I pump it up to very high pressure, so high it leaks from the valve 2feet downstream. I have VERY VERY fine spray nozzles, I have no tool to measure the hole opening. And I run two of them for a decent amount of flow.
I am considering putting alcohol in the cool mist bottle

aren't there any professional water injection kits for this engine? And i've never heard of somone just using water injection for more hp, ive only heard of people using it to get the engine to run more boost.
Must say i'm somewhat confused.... care to enlighten me?

Air is not a fluid. Air is a gas. And, water is NON compressible. Air, how ever is compressible, hence how A/C works. All you have to do to cool air is compress it, and expand it to warm it. So in the long run, yes I would be worried about hydro lock. Water is not compressible at all. Therefore, if you put to much in, it will bite you in the ***.

Mmmmn... fluid dynamics...
Air is a fluid....
thank you.
(oh, AC has nothing to do with the compressability of air... )
